Sad to see that they don't seem to have made it commercially viable. My hope is that the codebase will find a second life now that it is open source.

Looking at Dane's career history on LinkedIn, it appears that he has only ever been in product and some variety of manager, and his degree is in 'Engineering Management System'. It's an odd choice given that the previous

Is it hard to pull off? Give people a cut of the revenue from new paying customers who first visit by clicking their referral link. Everyone else does the work for you, but you lose control of the brand as people who only care about making

They want to have control over where their code lives, and not have their code subject to the terms of the service of the platform they use. For example, I might want to host my code privately on GitHub and not have Microsoft use it to trai

I argue that the natural winner-take-all dynamics of the marketplace are not beneficial to the the mission of free and open source software. In fact, having no safeguard against large organisations making money this way is actually hugely d

Not a lawyer, but my understanding is there is a strong feeling that AGPL can be roughly ignored if a service provider provides some level of indirection (e.g. a proxy) between the user and the software. Then, the software is somehow not be

As far as I understand it, the stance of the 'Open Source' crowd is that if Amazon can't make it one of their AWS offerings then it isn't true open source, and they'll get very upset at you if you claim it is. I&#x2

Your GitHub profile is stellar, I can't imagine interviewers see one like yours very often.

If it did exist, there's some delicious irony in an original paper on replicating data in a highly-available manner being lost.

Since the author mentions at the end that they were motivated to write and publish this as a part of a writing group, I'd like to say that this was a very pleasant read. Tightly-scoped but insightful and informative!

This is barely ever the case anymore but the quality can be very high. Especially if the people who are eligible to receive it is restricted. If you take the view that the value of standing out and snagging a top student is somewhere in the

> You seem to be saying that the lack of focus is caused by the perception of a permanent easy revenue stream. But I think the causation is actually the reverse of that. The lack of focus is more like a breadth first search for additiona

I love the main part of the foldout. I have no interest in art or watercolour painting but it really makes me want to give it a go.

You could refer to Java as a "little known programming language" and use this as a defence.

Does an adblocker not solve this problem for you? I see very few advertisements day to day, but I go out of my way to not watch TV live and turn up to the cinema late because I dislike ads as much as it seems you do.

This isn't true. I've been banned and then unbanned in this exact scenario - they re-enabled my account after 2 days. I had my messages flagged as spam for a further 6 weeks, but it was eventually resolved. My only contact with Di

One of the reasons for this is probably that all (minus Stadia, it seems) of the products you've mentioned might have had bad starts but ended up gigantic successes: >PS3 performed extremely well, beating Xbox 360 by a fairly thin m

I think you're right but that it's not necessarily a bad thing. Rust's truly killer features probably won't appeal to you on a visceral level until you've been on the wrong end of a thorny problem like a race condit
